Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent-Chapter 523 - : The Invasion of the Behemoths, World-in-Hand Crumbles

Roar...

The deafening roars echoed, and the immense disturbance startled Merciless and the others, who immediately stopped their cultivation.

"These people are truly stubborn!" Nine Phoenix said coldly, and the group quickly joined the battle.

However, when they arrived at the rift in space, they were stunned.

"All of them are behemoths above Three-Star Emperors!" Heavenly King exclaimed, taking a step back, feeling a deep sense of uncertainty.

He was still at the One-Star Emperor level and was no match for these creatures.

"Leave it to us. You focus on ranged attacks," Thoublade reminded, opening World-in-Hand without hesitation. Thoublade Mountain flashed with light, transforming into icy, massive blades.

Boom...

John's World-in-Hand trembled, and the spatial rift expanded, unable to withstand the terrifying force.

He was shocked and quickly reminded, "Senior, you're supposed to protect my World-in-Hand, not destroy this place."

Thoublade paid him no mind, as a massive cold light shot out, smashing through the space, and attacking the behemoths, along with the forces from the Church of Light and Abyss among them.

"Thoublade, this time, you will die!" A furious shout reverberated, and the space quaked as another World-in-Hand appeared.

It was Highshield, who also did not hesitate to unleash the power of World-in-Hand. The vast power of laws surged, colliding instantly.

Boom!

A violent explosion echoed, and the space trembled. Everything around them collapsed, while the corrosive black mist from the external Abyss stormed towards John's World-in-Hand.

Even the Tree of Life couldn't block it all.

Fortunately, Leisian acted in time, controlling the Tree of Life, and the special power of the Seed of Fire spread, blocking the invading black mist.

"Seed of Fire!" Hybird spotted Leisian and her eyes lit up with excitement. "So this little girl is here after all!"

She moved in a flash, heading straight for the Tree of Life.

"Get out of the way!" John shouted angrily, and the Golden Wheel of Laws roared, slamming down towards her.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" Hybird scoffed, raising her hand to shoot a sword beam that easily blocked the Golden Wheel of Laws' attack and cleaved toward the White Jade City.

Bang!

The White Jade City shook, flying backward uncontrollably, crashing toward John.

Cough! He coughed up blood, heavily injured.

This woman's strength was terrifying. A Six-Star Emperor was not something he could deal with.

"John, leave it to me. You focus on stopping those behemoths." Goldflame swung her magic staff, and a massive fire dragon roared toward Hybird.

Both of them were Six-Star Emperors, their strengths equal, and for a moment, neither could gain the upper hand.

But John's World-in-Hand was suffering. Thoublade, Highshield, and the others were too powerful. His World-in-Hand couldn't withstand it.

"Dulu, Heavenly King, Cand-Dragon, retreat to the Tree of Life and protect Leisian." He could no longer focus on the invading behemoths. With a quick reminder, he transformed into a towering giant, activating Creation and Destruction. The massive sword energy howled as he worked to repair the shattered space.

The power of the Tree of Life should not be underestimated; it could just about hold off Three-Star Emperor behemoths.

Roar...

The furious roars echoed as countless behemoths surged forward.

Apart from John, only Merciless, Chaos, Gaka, and Blood Fiend were able to barely contend with the Three-Star Emperor behemoths.

Boom... Boom...

The sound of explosions continued, as World-in-Hand cracked, and both sides suffered casualties.

Highshield was no match for Thoublade and had already sustained severe injuries. But he could no longer care about that; if they couldn't seize this World-in-Hand, they would be doomed to perish with the outside Abyssal black mist invading.

He looked at John coldly and said, "Kid, you have two choices: either let us enter, or destroy your World-in-Hand, and we'll all perish together."

With tens of thousands of Emperor-level powerhouses attacking and the destruction caused by the Ruin Beasts, World-in-Hand was already riddled with holes.

John, however, sneered, his voice cold, "I'm sticking to my original terms: if you want my protection, sign a soul contract and acknowledge me as your master!"

"Dream on!" Highshield roared in fury. Ignoring his injuries, his attacks became more ferocious. He had already decided—if he was to die, he would drag John down with him.

"Stubborn fool!" Thoublade's face was cold as he moved his mind. Several massive blades shot out from World-in-Hand once again.

Boom...

Where the blades passed, the space shattered.

John continued to use Creation and Destruction, but the speed of his repairs couldn't keep up with the destruction caused by the others.

"Damn it!" He cursed, gritted his teeth, and summoned the Law Tree.

Boom!

With a loud roar, the endless seas of World-in-Hand surged as the Law Tree flew out from beneath the waves.

This turbulent sea was no longer enough to destroy his World-in-Hand; in fact, it helped to block the behemoths' attacks.

"Hold!" He bellowed, controlling the Law Tree, driving it straight into the battlefield.

Then, the massive sword from the Immortal legacy also shot through the air, suppressing a part of the battlefield.

Buzz!

The sword hummed as an overwhelming aura of killing intent surged. The Four Extermination Swords shot out, forming the Immortal Sword Formation.

By relying on his own strength, he barely managed to hold back the tidal wave of behemoth forces.

Roar...

The thunderous roars echoed, and an immense oppressive force spread.

Before John could even catch his breath, more than a dozen Seven-Star Emperor behemoths tore through the space rift, descending upon World-in-Hand.

Boom...

In just an instant, the freshly stabilized World-in-Hand was shattered once again.

Among them were several Ruin Beasts, creatures that John's World-in-Hand simply couldn't block, and he was no match for them either.

"Senior, think of something quickly! If this continues, my World-in-Hand will really be destroyed!" His heart raced with anxiety as he turned to Thoublade and urged.

"Kid, do you trust me?" Thoublade's expression was grim. Faced with such a situation, he had no good solutions either.

John growled, "If you have a plan, speak it! Do you not believe that I can pull you into my World-in-Hand?"

"Fine!" Thoublade no longer wasted words. He waved his hand, and thousands of mountain peaks flew out of his World-in-Hand, transforming into razor-sharp blades, charging toward Highshield and the several Seven-Star Emperor behemoths.

The power of the massive blades was terrifying. Wherever they passed, space collapsed, and John's World-in-Hand cracked apart violently.

Cough! John was hit by the backlash, spitting out blood, his face turning pale. He snapped, "Thoublade, are you trying to destroy my World-in-Hand?!"

His World-in-Hand was falling apart, and Creation and Destruction couldn't repair it. If things continued like this, it would be destroyed for sure.

From the shattered rifts, the endless black mist of the Abyss poured in, and the group was immediately consumed by it.

Thoublade ignored him, focusing on controlling the thousands of massive blades. Despite the black mist corroding him, he relentlessly bombarded Highshield and the behemoth army.

In an instant, space shattered, blood filled the air, and the roars of rage echoed as the invading behemoths were slaughtered.

Even the few Seven-Star Emperor behemoths couldn't hold back.

Highshield was heavily wounded, vomiting blood, and was thrown back, falling into the endless Abyssal black mist.

Cough! Thoublade also spat out blood, his form swaying as his body was consumed by the Abyssal mist.

"Damn it!" John cursed, looking at the shattered World-in-Hand. He plunged into the black mist, rescuing the severely injured Thoublade.

"If you weren't Merciless' master, I wouldn't save you," John gritted his teeth. His World-in-Hand had already crumbled, most of it destroyed. Only the land around The Tree of Life remained intact.

"Highshield..." Thoublade's voice was weak as he spoke. "Save Highshield, that person is still useful."

"Highshield?" John furrowed his brows but didn't ask further. He dove back into the black mist.

By this time, Highshield was heavily injured and on the brink of death, barely holding off the corruption of the mist as his own strength rapidly drained.

Seeing John charging into the mist, he was startled and shouted in anger, "Kid, if I die here, the Abyss will never forgive you."

"Damn it, you talk too much!" John cursed, kicking him to the ground, then grabbed his collar and stepped through the black mist, landing in the shattered World-in-Hand.

Highshield continued to curse, "Despicable human, a man can be killed but not humiliated. If you have the guts, kill me."

John didn't respond. He tossed Highshield in front of Thoublade and asked, "I've brought him. What use is this guy?"

Thoublade's face was pale. With Leisian's help, he expelled the black mist from his body and looked at the critically injured Highshield. He spoke coldly, "Highshield, I'm giving you a chance to survive—sacrifice your World-in-Hand."

"Heh." Hearing this, Highshield let out a cold laugh. "What, do you want to Devour my World-in-Hand and break through to Nine-Star Emperor? Let me tell you, I'd rather die than help you."

"Hmph!" Thoublade snorted disdainfully. "I wouldn't even want your World-in-Hand."

Highshield furrowed his brows, looking at the shattered world, then quickly realized what Thoublade meant. He responded, "You want this human to Devour my World-in-Hand?"

"Exactly." Thoublade nodded.

"That's even more impossible." Highshield gritted his teeth, his voice cold. "Even if I die, you guys will be buried with me."

Nearby, John overheard their conversation, confused.

Thoublade wanted him to Devour Highshield's World-in-Hand to restore his own.

If he did that, Highshield's World-in-Hand would be destroyed, and John would face a backlash, greatly weakening his power. It was worse than just killing him outright, and Highshield would never agree to that.

John wasn't particularly concerned, though. His World-in-Hand was only shattered, not destroyed, and he still had a large number of Hearts of the Continent in his possession, which could slowly repair it.

Thoublade wasn't surprised by Highshield's reaction. He calmly spoke, "Highshield, I'm trying to help you."

"Help me?" Highshield sneered disdainfully. "Destroying my World-in-Hand is helping me? Thoublade, do you think I'm a fool? Even if I die, I won't let you have your way."

Thoublade remained unbothered, continuing, "Don't speak so decisively. I'll tell you something. Your father is dead. It was the Abyss Lord who killed him with his own hands."

"Huh?" Highshield's expression changed, his anger flaring. "That's nonsense. My father has been in the Abyss Secret Area, in seclusion for cultivation. And he's a Nine-Star Emperor, the one closest to the Creator God. Who could kill him?"

Highshield's father was an incredibly powerful Nine-Star Emperor, having perfectly fused with World-in-Hand, and formed nine Golden Wheels of Laws.

It was said that his strength was on par with the Abyss Lord, and even the Creator God held some fear of him.

The Abyss itself had only survived this long because of the combined strength of the Abyss Lord and Highshield's father.

Thoublade watched as Highshield reacted violently, then coldly smiled and said, "Let me tell you another secret. The Abyss Lord, and the ancestor of the Merciless Church, are actually avatars of Creator God Kaos."

"What?" The moment his words fell, a wave of astonished gasps filled the air.

The group stared at him, their faces filled with disbelief.

Gaka frowned and said, "How is that possible? The Abyss and the Merciless Church have always opposed Creator God."

"Do you really think that?" Thoublade shot back at him.
